Kristina Chapple is a General Partner at 11 Tribes Ventures – an early-stage fund that proactively invests in the resilience of their founders. In the industry, she is known for asking thoughtful and empathetic questions that challenge conventional approaches to diligence and post-investment support.
Kristina joined 11 Tribes as the first hire, helping the firm grow by deploying the remaining checks from Fund I and supporting the Fund II raise. She is the “front door” of the firm, responsible for bringing 11 Tribes to market to source founders and assess companies through diligence. Thus far from Fund II, Kristina has led investments in companies like Alloy Market, LegalKarma, GoNanas, Nutrad, LeaseUp, and Circadian Risk.
Kristina graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Morehead-Cain Scholar. In 2024, she was listed as Forbes 30 Under 30 for Venture Capital and Chicago Innovation 25 under 25.”
